*I JUST WANT TO SAY HUNTER JUST FOLLOWED MY INSTA @ROWLANDS.GF IM FREAKING OUT IM SO HAPPY*

It was just spin the bottle, the kisses never meant anything, right? Mark wouldn't care, or find out I guess.

Weston took a spin, it landed on me. Shocking. He spun again. It landed on Hunter. What a surprise.

He smiled at me and began to lean in, then our lips connected. It lasted maybe 20 seconds, and it honestly felt nice.

What was I saying? It couldn't feel nice. He was my ex and I was dating Mark.

No, no, no. It didn't feel nice. I forced myself to think it didn't feel good, eventhough I wanted more.

Hunter seemed so happy, so I couldn't help but seem happy too. I mean I was happy, I missed Hunter and I.

The rest of the night was kind of a blur. Our friends didn't really know about Mark and I, and Hunter and I acted really close all night. Weston gave me some weird looks, but it was a good night.

Hunter stayed the night at my place, which he hasn't done in a while. We stayed up really late, just talking about anything and everything we always did.

"So...do you think you love Mark?" he asked me, out of nowhere.

"Love...I don't think I could say that yet. Do I really like him and want to be with him, I'm pretty sure. There's nothing wrong with him, it's just the distance that makes me hesitant. I don't know if we'll even get to that point..." I said, really putting thought into it.

"Oh, I see. Distance would be too hard for me, you really need to trust someone." Hunter explained.

"Yeah, and don't get me wrong, I trust Mark, but not the way I trust someone like you. Two weeks vs. eleven years of trust..."

"I get it. Have you two talked about this whole long distance thing yet, or are you just starting to think about it." He asked

"I just really thought about it... I guess I'll have to see tomorrow." I said, drifting off to sleep.

*HUNTERS POV*

I was glad Val was happy with Mark, but wow was I jealous. I tried my hardest, I really did, but after that kiss I forgot she had a boyfriend completely.

It's hard, when all these guys want her and the only one I believe is right is me.

Knowing Val and Mark's relationship wouldn't work really brought my hopes up. I mean, they both liked eachother a lot, but they barley knew eachother. They'd never see eachother, it wasn't bound to work out.

Who knows, though, maybe it would work. Maybe my heart would break even more seeing how happy they are together. They can be across the country and still a better than Val and I ever were ...
